The 43rd running of the Kent Pumpkin Run takes place on Sunday. Organizers say there will be family friendly events, homemade pumpkin soup and a costume contest. One of the oldest races in Connecticut, the Kent Classic attracts both elite runners and those who just want a walk in the Litchfield Hills. The Pumpkin Run kicks off with a Kids Fun Run at 11:15AM, followed by the five mile race/walk at Noon. In the Halloween spirit, many prizes are awarded for costumes as well as finishing times. There is a Post-race Party as well.
